Cyprus Avenue

Details

Following sell-out runs in Dublin's Abbey Theatre and London's Royal Court Theatre, we’re delighted to announce that the award-winning new play by David Ireland will take to the stage at the MAC for four nights this May.

‘Gerry Adams has disguised himself as a newborn baby and successfully infiltrated my family home.’

Eric Miller (Stephen Rea) is a Belfast Loyalist. He believes his five-week-old granddaughter is Gerry Adams.

His family keep telling him to stop living in the past and fighting old battles that nobody cares about anymore but his cultural heritage is under siege. He must act.

David Ireland’s black comedy takes one man’s identity crisis to the limits as he uncovers the modern-day complexity of Ulster Loyalism.

The Daily Telegraph

"Compulsive viewing."

The Sunday Times

"Helped by an astonishing Rea, the play is provocative and horribly unforgettable."

The Irish Times

"Stephen Rea delivers a masterful performance."
